So, the people who can't get hole-punching and ballot layout right are going to "fix" things with two programming languages, three databases, and a dozen or so support libraries?

Also, Florida 2000 is a strange example, considering the present drama. We've only gone from a simple controversy to a more complex one.

This. As a former rower I'm biased, but also I have a C2 that sits around unused, mainly because as I've gotten older, I care less about the competitive/fitness optimization aspect of working out and more about fun.

Having tried several of the third party apps for C2, they've all suffered from 2 problems: pretty sub-par development/bugginess & wrong (or bad) content for the mass market. So much training oriented content and little on the fun/gamification side. I would pay $ for the right app, but not for a new rower. Ergatta is cool but again I wouldn't go out and buy one. When you think about the hundreds of thousands of C2s, it is a nice opportunity.
Traveling somewhere and paying San Francisco's immense rent are pretty different.
That's exactly what this is. It's a lawsuit filed by the injured party, alleging defamation. Now a court will hear the evidence and (probably) find Giuliani guilty, because he very clearly engaged in defamation.
Kind of interesting, but ethanol has SUPER high octane and could be used for avgas (although as we know with e85 cars, soft goods may need to be changed out). But using a mix of ethanol and gasoline can cause problems with water absorption and phase separation especially in cold conditions.
Which is why I don’t pay for prime.
Nothing can "fix the issue" when the issue is primarily that some candidates will not accept a losing outcome.

Had this election been entirely hand-counted, the same claims of fraud would have arisen. When a candidate declares in advance of an election that he can only lose if there is fraud, you can be sure he will act in bad faith if he loses.

Incredulity was all he needed to claim fraud - the numerous conspiracy theories explaining the fraud would inevitably surface after the fact. If it's not Dominion voting machines, it's dead voters, boxes of ballots showing up, and hand wavy claims of the opposition being in charge of the counting and abusing that role.

Good point. I think creating a solution that ties into existing rowers like the C2 isn't out of the question in the future.
If we fail to totally eradicate these strains of coronavirus from earth, like we have never ever in history managed, is lockdown forever right - the end of free life? Or was it just something required in 2020 for some reason?
That part at the end in parenthesis is just completely wrong. The cost of a simple trustless transaction can be much lower. Bitcoin is extremely inefficient compared to the theoretical cost.
I like the way Fastmail handles this. Your normal email is user@domain.tld, and you can configure the service to also treat emails to <anything>@user.domain.tld as having been sent to you.

Imgur's users once conducted an experiment, or a flashmob, where people hanging out at ‘new’ were supposed to upvote just anything, to show the mainpage users what it's like in ‘new’. In practice, weirdest things were floating up to main, and that night was by far the best experience I've had on the site.

There was also a regular feature called ‘Late Night Imgur’ where at night (on the US time) people upvoted horror stories, strange visions and such.

They could blockchain votes and have independently auditable election results easily available.

Instead, time after time, we get shady software from shady people with disturbing political connections (I’m not talking the dominion thing either — this seems true for all voting software). The idea that crooked politicians hire crooked companies to wrire crooked software shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone.
Cookies work without any third party business involved. The proposed solution won't work the same way. It will work only when using a third party business servers.

Bay Area hospital won't receive Covid vaccine after teachers given doses [..]
Cozy!

Bay Area hospital won't receive COVID vaccine after teachers given doses before frontliners, elderly.

Teachers, per the email, were told to impersonate health care workers despite the threat of perjury — with the approval of COO Gary Purushotham — in order to obtain access to the vaccine. "Remember to register under healthcare initially," Johnson's note read.
[..]
The COO of the hospital says we can access the appointments ... and has cleared [Los Gatos schools] staff to sign up under the healthcare buttons," the email from Johnson to district staff obtained by Spotlight read. Educators are part of Phase 1B in California and Santa Clara County, behind frontline staff, nursing home residents and those 65 and older.

>Electric engines have a significantly better trust-to-weight ratio.

Aerospace engineer here. This is not accurate, unless you are perhaps discussing cars. But for aircraft the torque supplied by the motor is not nearly so critical.

First of all propeller thrust is a function of airspeed, and it falls off significantly as you accelerate, irrespective of whether your powertrain is electric or hydrocarbon. This is a direct consequence of physics that can't really be avoided and it's why we usually talk about propeller aircraft as being "power producers" rather than "thrust producers". Propeller horsepower is much easier to reason about, and more relevant to the performance of the aircraft, than torque.

I'm not aware of any electric-powered turbojets/turbofans beyond the prototype phase but they would theoretically have better static thrust properties by virtue of not being props rather than any particular property of electric motors.
In that case the shared state is the observer.
I like this analogy a lot. Nature has a special place for us so conservation is (mostly) obvious, including ideas like negative externalities. But I agree with you that we should be thinking of the online world in the same way, even if its not as existential as a clean environment. Companies that profit by destroying the value of the web, like Taboola and other listicle or content farms should be held accountable for lowering the internet's quality for everyone.
Smaller means closer together. Closer together means less time for a signal to move from one to another. Less time means higher clock speeds.

If you CPU is 100mm across, the speed of light limits it to 3GHz because that's how many times you can cross the cpu travelling at c. At 10mm you get 30GHz.
They have a point though, when you rely on a domain you’ve gotta be cautious. If I buy your domain when you forget to renew it I can then do password resets against any accounts you used an email on that domain with.

The original comment is likely a troll, but the current goverment did place a bunch of amateur hacks on the highest positions of power, which led to things like the minister of culture asserting to the public that woman belongs in the kitchen, or that the minister of education asserting in public that the humanities like sociology and history must disappear from the face of earth, and the ministry of environment saying in a leaked video of a presidential meeting that thanks to covid they now had the distraction they needed to kill indians and give the land to soy farmers.

So, even if trollish comment, it is not too removed from truth. I can see how incompetence, cost cuts, corruption and favoritism (he did place all his sons in a trump-like fashion in his cabinet) might have led to this. Not to mention relaxing of oversight and the rule of law which allowed for even more departments (and the private companies working for those) to hold and share this information without concerns.

The previous government (removed illegitimacy in a coup) did place emphasis on digital security. Brazil have safe electronic voting for decades and Brazilians receive a java application by the gov to do their taxes since the 90s. The current gov was elected on the basis of "we will undo everything the last <<corrupt>> government did"
Came here to mention Nokia, I bought NOK last week, the stock is starting to move. Between existing revenue from 5G and future growth I have a price target of 15USD by Jan 2023. New leadership is in place as well and a mandate for each business unit to become profitable.

Ah. Then I decide to disbelieve in the deterministic model of the universe proposed. And I cannot be faulted for that, because its a consequence of the evolution of the universe. So we're done here.
> Everyone will instinctively throw the damper to setting 10, then throw their back due to bad posture.

The people who do that normally only row for a few minutes at a time, and aren't really at any significant risk of injury. The only class of people who seem to consistently develop back problems from rowing machines are people who train on them for hours a day in high school and never lift weights.

All the other back injuries in rowing are usually from either sweep rowing or from lifting.
> Firefox Relay supports email forwarding (including attachments) of email up to 150KB in size

I'm not sure what to think of the size limitation. I wonder what percentage of emails are under that.
Exactly - people underestimate the wisdom (and the power) of organized crowds. Governments can be topped by crowds, which is why they try very hard to not become too unpopular.

Institutional finance is just a percentage of what some people put in the market.

And like governments, they may start realizing they must not do things that will make too many people angry, as the scale does not work in their favor now that new tools have made greater cooperation possible.

>At $300k TC, most people in the United States could pay off their mortgage and retire after only 3-5 years of working.

I was saying it was a very good (I used the term solid) salary by retirement age which I think is true. Maybe it's even exceptionally good.

I think your quoted statement is only kinda sorta true though. Assume they have $1m in the bank with no debt at age 30 now that they've retired after about 5 years and bought a $200K or so house with cash. They now have a low-risk income stream of about $50K (less than the US median income) which has to cover property taxes, maintenance, health insurance, etc. Or maybe they want nothing more than to be a ski bum or a river guide etc. for the next X decades. It's certainly possible although I doubt it's what most people able to earn that kind of money aspire to.

(If you expand it to 10 years, I'd more generally agree. If retirement from corporate life is someone's goal, that's eminently practical at that point without being at all spartan.)
If I was hiring an agency to build a mobile app, and one of them came back with "195 days," I would have pretty high confidence that they've never built anything of noteworthy complexity before, and that they think that software projects can be planned to the day months in advance.

On the other hand, for operational promises (e.g., a 24-hour SLA) means something more specific than a 1-day SLA: 24 hours is clear, whereas anything based on days requires definitions (Literally the next day? After one full calendar day has passed?

So, no, smaller units are not more credible... smaller units make a more specific claim which in some cases is more credible, but in some cases is not credible.
Agreed. When I saw this title and read the article, the first thing I thought was "Ok, how to I block this/opt-out". It sounds like this is only in Chrome though, for now. One hopes that FF will continue to be privacy focused and not add anything like this.
You are 100% right. We try our best to create an experience that is as similar to rowing on water as possible, but of course it won't be the same. But most people who purchase our rower aren't looking for a realistic experience, they want an amazing workout that's fun more than anything.
Good news for google shareholders: looks like google is returning back to its roots creating nightmarish ad tech tools to further their goal of turning the world into a digital panopticon. Bonus points for simultaneously crowding out competitors and further solidifying their ubiquity and monopoly.
Sailplanes effectively do this. The new high performance sailplane Nixus actually uses fly-by-wire to do microadjustments to optimize aerodynamic performance analogous to what you said, although skilled pilots can do similar. https://www.flyingmag.com/nixus-fly-by-wire-glider-takes-fli...

Smaller distance to travel so signals get from one gate to another quicker which will enable a higher clock speed.

Smaller devices use less power so less heat and longer battery life.

Smaller devices mean a smaller chip which is cheaper (although mask costs will be more expensive) or use the extra area for more features like more cache or another processor core.

Lots of programming languages treat 0 and null as the same thing. Numeric database columns, however, do not. This has resulted, at one of my employers, of a mix of different languages and systems treating 0 and equal to null. Sometimes, but not always. That inconsistency is a source of a fair number of bugs.
And then your child is not going to do something only because if not, punishment come. And they will still do it, if they can get away with it. Punishment never work on the long run.

> (try getting help with DAHDI if you aren't using it).

I mean, is it shocking that the Digium Asterisk Hardware Device Interface is primarily supported with Asterisk?

> I'm just curious if it's and product worth learning how to hack on.

Asterisk, Freeswitch, and Kamailio are the main open source telephony projects and are all also widely used as the "open core" of proprietary solutions so yeah there's plenty of room to make money selling support or addons for these projects.

That said, as someone who has been supporting Asterisk and Freeswitch for years now, I can't say I've ever had a situation where a DAHDI interface made sense over just using a standalone PSTN<>SIP gateway. Letting an Adtran TA9xx take care of integration with the PSTN and having the PBX side be pure VoIP makes things so much easier and more flexible IMO. The PSTN line is just one more SIP trunk, and any analog extensions we may have hooked up to FXS ports are just SIP extensions as far as the server is concerned.

If you want to dip your toes in I'd recommend setting up a FreePBX (Asterisk) or FusionPBX (FreeSwitch) instance. That gets you a nice web interface that you can point and click your way through to a usable setup while still being able to poke around at a low level as you learn how the system works.

I haven’t read the books, but my understanding was that the Ceres inhabitation in the Expanse was subterranean (subceresean?), and artificial “gravity” was created by spinning Ceres faster. And that is clearly impossible, given that Ceres doesn’t have the material strength to not disintegrate.

This paper sounds eminently plausible by comparison.
Because I can understand the whole implementation. I am no programmer, but the racket source is somewhere between "magic" and "more magic" to me.

I managed to patch guile to fold equal? to eq? when the comparisons involved literal symbols, chars or fixnums. (Although maybe not in the best way, it still worked). I apparentlynnerd-sniped Andy so he implemented it properly as a part of the expander (I think). That took me less than an hour starting from a cursory understanding of the guile codebase.

Regarding the same quote, I think idea is the easiest thing to find, I am astonished that there are so many people searching for ideas or buying ideas. Ideas are useless without the right implementation. People already have so many problems or use so many low-quality products, it's really easy to find a problem and solve it, but you must:

1) Know what the problem is and who has this problem

2) Know how to solve it

3) Put in the time and effort to actually build it

I find this to go in a bizarre awkward direction. We as humans have self regulating capabilities that are to be tapped with some "self work". Is that a bad thing? Why are we trying to change that and create an app to control bodily functions? Our brain is perfectly capable of handling that and has been for millions of years in our ancestors
Silly. If a bunch of people start using smaller units in order to make their statements "seem" more credible, such statements won't seem that credible after a while. But using smaller units than what the listener would already set off his sense of bullshit if that degree of precision is unwarranted. If it doesn't, congratulations for successfully preying on the gullible and the ignorant.

Lockdown is required when there is a risk of more paitents from an infectious disease than there are beds. Lockdown isn't the purpose, the purpose is to stop the number of new paitents requiring hospital from outnumbering the number of paitents leaving hospital (either walking or in a bodybag)

When was the last last time we had a disease that spread this quickly and caused this many hospitalisations, on a global scale?

Because you have updated your reply with more information I make a new reply instead. My old reply still stands about the what the article said and my use of optimistic locking.

Databases do support locks, usually called pessimistic locking (opposite of optimistic locking). In a RDBMS that is usually a table lock or a row lock.

Table locks are usually bad for performance and row locks better, however both are clumsy to work with, this is where the simplicity of optimistic locking comes in.

Where pessimistic locking is part of the RDBMS itself, optimistic locking is something that you implement yourself on top of the RDBMS.

Optimistic locks are lightweight (optimal case one read and one write) and easy to implement and understand.

In the example in the article I would have argued for optimistic locking on all cases and it would have worked with multiple instances.

Transactions and locks does not serve a similar purpose.
